It's predicted now that the ban may be virtually unenforceable, as publicans will not be able to distinguish between herbal & regular ciggies, once they're lit up.
I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

i think the original question was really pertaining to it being banned in public places only. not as a whole. that's not what we're arguing.
Yeah, we`re just talking about being good to your fellow man and having respect for other peoples wishes here, not about banning smoking altogether.

In that case we'll have to ban all cars, all factories, open coal fires, cigarettes, and everything else including Fire Poi

But it's not the price of going to a club. That's v.exagerated indeed! How many non smokers do you know who have nasty lung related deseases from going out on a friday night?

I don't know how to say it any other way, there is NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT SECOND HAND SMOKE CAUSES LUNG DESEASE....

Man I might even start smoking myself...it's starting to sound quite inviting!!

but smokers would have nowhere to go if there was a ban
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Smokers can always step outside for the few minutes it takes to finish their cigarette, or just try and resist the urge for a while until they get home.

one word -self righteousness........it really gets my back up.....i,being a smoker,haven't got a problem with being asked,nicely,to take my smoke outside etc..but when people start insulting smokers,quite venomously,i feel sad...whatever happened to being,or trying to be,non-judgemental?

But enforcement may be a probem. When returning from London on the train in a non-smoking carriage last year, someone tried to justify himself smoking around my son because 'he'd fought for our country'! Which is blatantly ridiculous, and I know not all smokers are arrogant, but what could anyone do? Didn't fancy my chances in rugby tackling a squaddie, and by the time the guard came he'd finished a king-size cigarette and left the train.
